E/C.12/UGA/CO/1 Social security system 24. While noting that the State party is developing social protection plans, the Committee is concerned that the current social security system does not include health insurance and unemployment benefits, and that workers in the informal economy who make up a large portion of all workers in the State party are excluded from social protection. It is also concerned that only 2 per cent of older persons are covered by social protection. Moreover, the Committee is concerned about arrears in public sector benefits, and that the cash transfer scheme is donor dependent (art. 9). Recalling its general comment No. 19 (2007) on the right to social security, the Committee recommends that social security reforms ensure social security schemes are developed and implemented on a non-discriminatory basis targeted to the most vulnerable groups and individuals, and include health insurance and unemployment benefits. The Committee also recommends providing access to pensions that are sufficient to enable an adequate standard of living. Furthermore, the State party should take measures to render the cash transfer scheme sustainable and ensure that it is implemented with a human rights-based approach. The Committee also recommends that the State party consider establishing social protection floors, in line with ILO recommendation No. 202 (2012) concerning National Floors of Social Protection for the realization of the right to social security and the Committee’s statement on social protection floors adopted on 6 March 2015. Violence against women 25. The Committee is concerned about the prevalence of violence against women, in particular domestic and sexual violence. It is also concerned about the inadequate implementation of the Domestic Violence Act, delays in adopting the Sexual Offences Bill, the underreporting to the police by victims of violence and the resorting to traditional ways of mediation that often override women’s rights. The Committee is further concerned about the limited number of protection and recovery services and facilities provided to victims (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to take measures to strengthen the enforcement of the Domestic Violence Act, including by sensitizing the judiciary, prosecutors and the police on the provisions of the Act. It should adopt and effectively implement the Sexual Offences Bill. The Committee also recommends that national awareness-raising campaigns be conducted to combat all forms of violence against women and girls and to encourage victims of violence to report such cases to the police. The Committee further recommends that the State party strengthen measures aimed at protecting and rehabilitating victims of violence. Harmful practices against women and girls 26. The Committee is concerned that polygamy is still legal in the State party and widely practised. It is also concerned about the persistence of early marriage and forced marriage especially in rural areas. It is further concerned that despite the legal prohibition, female genital mutilation is still practised in the Karamoja and eastern subregions (arts. 3 and 10). The Committee recommends that the State party, as a matter of priority, take comprehensive measures aimed at eliminating all harmful practices against women and girls. To this end the State party should: (a) Adopt effective measures aimed at abolishing the practice of polygamy, including by conducting a nationwide awareness-raising campaign targeting all components of society, in collaboration with civil society, with the aim of fostering a 8
